Vacation sleeping arrangements

[Anonymous]

I am a single mom, thinking of taking my teenage son on vacation. He has asked about bringing a friend, which is fine with me in theory, but I'm wondering about the sleeping arrangements. We've taken a friend of his before on overnight trips before and we all 3 shared a room, but they were younger, and that was a kid I've known since they were in daycare together, so there was a lot of trust between the parents, but the friend he wants to bring now is someone I know less well, so we'll need a different arrangement.

What would be your comfort level for your teenager? Would you be comfortable with a suite where the kids slept in the living room? Or would you only be comfortable if they had their own room altogether?

I'd totally be comfortable with this.

I wouldn't bring a kid I don't know well. I don't know how that kid would behave or how they influence my child, etc. But the sleeping in the living room thing would be of zero concern at all.

Get a suite.

Just went thru this. Def a suite.

Well, of course. Why on earth would it be a problem for them to sleep in the lviing room?

OP here,

I'm probably over thinking this. I think if the situation was reversed, and I was a single dad vacationing with someone else's 15 year old daughter there would be parents who might feel more comfortable with a closed/lockable door between the space where my child was sleeping and the adult. In a suite I might be in and out of their space while they're asleep (say they were sleeping in late, and I wanted to walk through to the bathroom, or to go to the hotel lobby to buy a cup of coffee or whatever. It wouldn't make me uncomfortable if it was my kid, but I figured I'd ask.

I went into this thinking I'd just get two separate rooms, until I went on the website of the hotel I'm considering and realized that a suite with a living room and a bedroom would be about $500 cheaper, so now I'm trying to figure out of there's a substantial benefit to 2 rooms. The biggest one I can identify right away is 2 bathrooms, but in my mind that's not a $500 benefit.

I don't know. Is your type middle aged, overweight, and exhausted? Then yes.

I don't know why anyone would be concerned about a single dad in a room with two girls either. As long as everyone has privacy to change and they aren't sharing a bed, then I would be fine with it. I think for teens, having a separate room / living room would be better as they likely don't want to sleep in the same room as the parent. I think you are overthinking this. Lots of suites have doors that separate the space sufficiently.

I love your sense of humor. Go for the suite. I hope you have a great time!

Then you DK some folks I do - we know one family where the girls are not allowed to have sleepovers unless it is a single mom.

Suite with them sleeping in the living room or adjacent rooms depending on which is less expensive. I'm the single mom of a teen. Enjoy!
